When the Berlin hourly weather shows temperatures below 5°C and Christmas lights sparkle across the city, many Berliners order “Glühwein mit Schuss” — mulled wine with a shot. But what exactly is that, and how strong is it?
“With a shot” means your regular mulled wine is mixed with a small portion of stronger alcohol — usually about 20–40 ml. It adds more warmth and depth to the drink. Common options are:
Tip: If the Berlin hourly weather says “freezing,” a Glühwein with a shot can make your evening stroll through the Christmas market feel cozy again!
Normal mulled wine has around 7–10% alcohol. When you add a shot, that number can rise to 12–14% — similar to strong wine or a cocktail. It also depends on how much spirit is used.
Remember: even though it tastes sweet and warm, it’s still alcoholic. Drink it slowly and enjoy the flavor — especially in cold Berlin evenings.
Glühwein with a shot is best enjoyed after a walk around the Christmas market or after work with friends. According to the Berlin hourly weather, the best time is usually between 5 and 8 p.m. — when the air gets crisp and lights shine brightest.
Q: How strong is Glühwein with a shot?
A: Around 12–14% alcohol, depending on the type of spirit added.
Q: Can I get it alcohol-free?
A: Yes! Ask for “Kinderpunsch” or non-alcoholic mulled wine without the shot.
Q: Does adding a shot make it taste better?
A: It adds a deeper, richer flavor — but only if you enjoy stronger drinks.
Mulled wine with a shot is more than a drink — it’s a Berlin winter tradition. It warms your hands, lifts your mood, and turns a cold evening into something special. Just check the Berlin hourly weather, put on your scarf, and enjoy that glowing cup of Christmas cheer — responsibly!
